Grilled shrimp marinade.

Scott started a new job a week or so ago and we had a celebratory meal to ease the nerves a bit. I wanted to make it special, but because it was a day after our crazy garage sale, I also wanted it to be easy. I had shrimp in the freezer, so before church, I took it out, and let it defrost in a bowl of water. After church I made the following marinade and it was a hit! I will definitely do this again!

Toss a pound of shrimp in the following:

1/2 cup (of a handful) of chopped fresh cilantro

1 or 2 chopped jalapenos

1/3 cup sesame oil

1/3 cup white wine (if you have it, if not, perhaps orange juice?)

1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 chopped shallot

Juice of three limes

Refrigerate for a few hours before grilling, tossing the shrimp a few times in the process.
